One of the unique strengths of the book is the impressive and encompassing presentation
of current functional and operational offshore development for all those involved with
offshore structures. It is tailored as a reference book for the practicing engineers, and
should serve as a handy reference book for the design engineers and consultant involved
with offshore engineering and the design of offshore structures. This book emphasizes
the practical aspects rather than the theoretical treatments needed in the research in
the field of offshore engineering. In particular, it describes the dos and don’ts of all
aspects of offshore structures. Much hands-on experience has been incorporated in the
write up and contents of the book. Simple formulas and guidelines are provided
throughout the book. Detailed design calculations, discussion of software development,
and the background mathematics has been purposely left out. The book is not intended
to provide detailed design methods, which should be used in conjunction with the
knowledge and guidelines included in the book. This does not mean that they are not
necessary for the design of offshore structures. Typically, the advanced formulations are
handled by specialized software. The primary purpose of the book is to provide the
important practical aspects of offshore engineering without going into the nitty gritty of
the actual detailed design. Long derivations or mathematical treatments are avoided.
Where necessary, formulas are stated in simple terms for easy calculations. Illustrations
are provided in these cases. Information is provided in handy reference tables and design
charts. Examples are provided to show how the theory outlined in the book is applied in
the design of structures. Many examples are borrowed from the deep-water offshore
structures of interest today including their components, and material that completes the
system.
